Kamdhenu Paints in Dehradun: Premium Interior and Exterior Finishes

Choosing paint is easier when you split it into four decisions: the surface, the finish, the system and the shade. The video above introduces the Kamdhenu Paints range we stock, and this guide helps you decide what to ask for.

Start with the surface

New plaster, old painted walls, damp-affected walls and exterior masonry all need different preparation. Tell us the condition of the wall and, if you can, send a photo. Damp walls must be treated at the source before any paint is applied.

Choose a finish

• Matt: hides small wall flaws, good for bedrooms and ceilings.
• Soft sheen: easier to wipe clean, good for living rooms and corridors.
• Exterior emulsions: made to resist sun and rain, important in the hill monsoon.

Use the full system

A durable job is a system, not a single tin: primer, putty where needed, then two coats of finish. A good primer such as wall primers improves adhesion and evens out absorption. For exterior walls we often suggest Asian Paints Apex Ultima Protek.

Match the shade properly

Colours look different in showroom light and at home. Take a swatch home and check it in morning and evening light on the actual wall. We tint shades on our computerised machine, so you can ask for the same shade again later for touch-ups.

Estimating quantity

Measure the wall height and width, subtract doors and windows, and share the total area. The coverage figure on the label depends on the surface, so we will calculate for two coats and recommend a small margin.

Paint safely

Cover floors and fittings, ventilate the room, and avoid painting when rain is expected for exterior work.
